Gender and the Politics of Possibilities

Manisha Desai is director of women's studies and associate professor of sociology at the University of Connecticut.

Gender and the Politics of Possibilities stresses the agency of actors within a globalized world, and hence emphasizes the capacities – or in Desai's own words, 'possibilities” and “creativity – of African informal cross-border traders, transnational feminists, and cultural producers.
